The Bridgewood

I’m disappointed to leave a poor review as I know the restaurant industry has been hard hit by COVID. Our family wanted to support a small restaurant and dine in for Mother’s Day. We were very disappointed with the service and the quality of the food – it has deteriorated since our last visit in early 2020. I don’t say this to be mean, but the waitress appeared to have no experience serving tables. She was very young, dressed in jeans and sneakers, which added to the overall air of unprofessionalism – it seemed like someone brought their child to work instead of hiring staff. She didn’t bring water, handed us our meals at forehead level instead of placing them on the table, didn’t offer coffee and dessert before bringing the bill, said they couldn’t serve 9oz glasses of wine because they only had one bottle of red, and was not able to answer questions about the sides which came with the different dishes. One person in our group had to ask three times for the garlic bread and Caesar salad which were supposed to accompany his meal. Other tables also appeared to be experiencing mix-ups and inconveniences. This would have been possible to overlook if the food had been outstanding. The cuisine is advertised as authentic Italian, but it is not; the pasta does not taste homemade, Caesar salad did not have real grated Parmesan cheese or bacon, the beef tenderloin appeared to be a different cut and was covered in a thick gravy, and the chicken supreme was a breast cut in half with some type of melted cheese on top. This was not a cheap meal; entrées ranged from $30-$45, which brings an expectation of good service and quality. I hope this feedback helps them to correct some of these major issues.

Please order fettuccine alfredo. It's one of the best pasta I've ever had in my life. Also the chef is super sweet and very welcoming. Also the lava cake at the end was absolute pleasure. This is a must comeback restaurant!!

The food was good but the service was lacking. We phoned ahead to book a reservation and confirmed a table would be available. Upon arrival, we waited 5 minutes to be greeted. The hostess/waitress did not seem happy to be there or to see us. She started leading us inside, then said "actually we're full." Confused, we reiterated we made a reservation and we spoke to her on the phone. She said "Yeah I know, I spoke to you but we're full." We pointed to an empty table, and how they don't close for another hour and a half, and asked again why things have suddenly changed from when we spoke on the phone, then she said "Actually, it's fine, come in." By this point, we're not feeling welcome and are uncomfortable, but we gave it another chance and followed her in. We waited 30 minutes for her to take our drink orders without any water at the table, despite walking by us several times she did not check on us at all. I was beginning to think she was waiting for the restaurant to close so we wouldn't be able to order. By this time, we already had our appetizers and mains picked out so we ordered. She brought us some mini crispy baguettes but I was really surprised it came with packaged butter for being a mid to higher priced restaurant in Georgetown. I would've expected an in-house made honey butter or garlic butter. Our appetizer came out and only about 1-2 minutes later our main courses came out. The appetizer was great; lamb lollipops. The Bridgewood chicken was also great; the Beef tenderloin was okay. I noticed other tables were having issues too with incorrect orders/meals coming out, waiting for the bill, asking for water more than once, etc. It's really strange, considering there are only about 4-5 tables and should be manageable to maintain good service. We came to celebrate together, but ended up feeling like we were imposing/inconveniencing the staff at a place we spent almost $200 to eat. Not worth it.

Went here for my 1 year anniversary with my wife. We got a soup of the day, calamari and both got a beef tenderloin. We loved our appetizers and will be back for more. The beef tenderloin was good, not exactly what I was expecting but still good. We will be coming back!

What a wonderful experience! We just had two beautifully prepared entrees by the new owner and Executive chef. Stay tuned as the menu is undergoing an update, but rest assured if tonight was any indication, the new offerings will be fresh, quality, and made from scratch. This is exactly what Georgetown needs more of.

A very beautiful, cozy restaurant. They complied with our dietary/allergen needs. We had bruschetta, pizza and eggplant pasta. Complimentary bread was so delicious ?. I would come back for sure. The whole vibe was so nice and warm. Coffee was too good.

A nice little cozy and intimate restaurant. We went for an anniversary dinner last night and all of us enjoyed our meals. We had brushcetta for starters and our mains were penna alla vodka, seafood fettuccine, eggplant parmesan and house spaghetti. We really enjoyed our food and atmosphere. The new restaurant is the perfect place for small parties or dinner with friends/family. Raed was amazing: patient and accommodating. We'll be back for sure!

Food is decent but really overpriced for what it is. That being said, the service is very good and they have a great atmosphere. We had the house spaghetti which was charged at $31. It's quite a lot of money for a cream sauce spaghetti with a little bit of bacon and a few chunks of chicken. We also got the garlic bread with cheese. Again, pretty decent, but $15 for 4 side slices of baguette with cheese seems excessive. The side salad (un-pictured, sorry) was charged at $14 for a handful (literally) of spring mix with 4 grape tomatoes and some cucumber slices. It was a true 'side' salad but charged at mains prices. If you have plenty of money perhaps go treat yourself. My opinion is that overcharging for nice, but 'nothing spectacular' food is a bit cheeky. We're all for supporting local businesses (hence why we went) but will choose some other options in town moving forward that offer good food at slightly more reasonable prices.
